Alameda, CA: February 17, 2004. MetaSwitch
today announced that Missouri Telecom has installed the MetaSwitch VP3500
Next Generation Class 5 Switch for this week's launch of its new residential
and business services in Southwest Missouri. Missouri Telecom is offering
a full range of residential and business voice services, including IP Centrex,
to complement its highly successful broadband and dial-up Internet service
offerings.
"Over the past few years we tested several next-generation
switches but never found the right combination of technology and stability
that we needed to launch our voice services," said Kevin Wormington, VP-Operations.
"With MetaSwitch we found both. We are now delivering carrier-grade voice
services over our packet based network using proven, reliable technology.
And we know that MetaSwitch, a division of Data Connection, will be here
for us in the long term."
"Missouri Telecom is now able to bring even greater value
to their existing base of customers as well as go after new customers across
the state," said Bob Harvey, MetaSwitch Regional Manager. "With their strong
track record of providing both a reliable and high quality data service,
Missouri Telecom will quickly be able to increase their current revenue
stream with a voice service. At the same time, they will be attracting new
customers with advanced service offerings including IP Centrex and web based
self-provisioning."
The MetaSwitch VP3500 is the leading broadband-enabled
Next Generation Class 5 Switch in North America, with over 40 deployments,
and support for GR-303, VoATM and VoIP as well as advanced Web-based subscriber
services. Service providers are able to simultaneously serve customers in
multiple calling areas with over 100 Class 5 features and services. The
MetaSwitch VP3500 is easy to deploy and scales from 400 to over 250,000
subscribers in a single rack.
